GitHub Actions is really, really badly designed. The security model is fundamentally broken, the YAML hell is as bad as any, the log streaming lags like hell, they charge self-hosted runners for using their coordination plane, jobs queuing is really slow, and their software for actually running jobs is cursed and designed in a way that is practically hostile to self-hosting. GitHub Actions is god-awful. Have you ever used any other CI tools?

Yes, I was actually a part-time Jenkins admin back in high school and college. I use CircleCI more than Actions most of the time (and used Travis before that), especially for higher cost workflows, but there's no beating Actions in terms of its ease of setup and ecosystem advantage. It's way easier to just set up a simple JS file that runs on every commit in Actions compared to anywhere else. Would be happy to be proven wrong!

> they charge self-hosted runners for using their coordination plane They don't. Self-hosted runners are still free. They backed down from their plan to charge after receiving widespread backlash.
